I don't know anything about it, but I personally wouldn't want to be the guinea pig, I'd switch it back unless I could find concrete info on using it in systems not designed for it. For every great improvement in automotive fluids, it seems there is another gimmick.

Well its been in there for 100k miles dont know if I wanna change it now. But i hear what you are saying.

G05 is an "extended life" (150k miles) coolant, pretty much like dexcool. You are safe to run it if you want. Pretty much all antifreeze these days are OAT (Dexcool) or HOAT (Zerex G-05) and are all very similiar but are just dyed different colors (yellow, red, blue, etc).
